Answer:

When you think rectangles, you think areas. Small areas aggregate to form bigger ones.

If you drew a rectangle, it's easy to divide it into smaller units by simply taking a line through its midsection from one length to the other and one width to the other. One can either form smaller squares or rectangles from a larger one.

When that is one, you'd have taken the larger area of a rectangle which is simply the product of the value of its length and it's the breadth, and divided it into smaller units.

Cheers!

What is the equation of the line for this function? (0,0), (2,1), (4,2), (6,3).

slava [35]

The coordinate set (0, 0), (2, 1), (4, 2), (6, 3) represents a straight line. Since the first point is (0, 0) the y-intercept is 0. Now, lets solve for the slope (we can use any of the four points to solve).

Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

= 2-1/4-1

= 1/2

Now that we know what the slope is, we can write the equation of the line.

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b (m = slope and b = y-intercept)

y = 1/2x

Lets find the exponential equation for the line.

y = ab²

1 = ab²

1/a = ab²/a

1/a = b²

√1/a = √b²
